A Star Was Born


Thanks to the thoughtfulness and generosity of Kim & Sue Jones, we now have 2 stars in this galaxy, literally. Just as they bought one for Tyler, they bought one for Riley as a welcome gift. One of the most unique and just plain awesome gifts a kid could ask for! Thank you two SO much!

The star, registered by the International Star Registry of Switzerland and recorded here in the US, is located in the Virgo Constellation of the Milky Way Galaxy. Star "Riley Paige" has it's own stellar coordinates, which is indicated on the Virgo Constellation chart as well as the Official Certificate that we received.

As new telescopes and instruments bring new discoveries, we now have another star to search for, and another personal stake in this universe. I can't wait to show this to Riley when she is old enough to comprehend it and research it more. Thanks again Kim and Sue! Fascinating! And so it goes...
